A now demolished two storey building was situated in an area now known as Boat Green. It was slated with projecting jamb on N side and a pointed gable and gableted window was visible from Warriston Road. Originally with gable finials and chimney stacks.
The building is depicted on the OS 'Edinburgh and its Environs, sheet 20, 1853 (scale 1:1056) and a annotated as 'Booth Green Cottage'. It was situated about 103m NW of Heriothill House and SE of Warriston Farm Cottage.
The cottage is recorded in a deed scheduled in 1759 and the area is shown in an area annotated as Boat Green on Kirkwoods Town Plan of 1817. The building was renamed Warriston Green sometime before 1876.
Originally built as a family house it was subsequently used for various industrial purposes including as part of the adjacent Warriston Green Laundry which operated until 1920. Around 1980 the building was acquired by a firm of manufacturing stationers when extensions were added. In 1999 the firm moved from the premesis and the building and adjacent structures were demolished about a year later.
